Leonardo is actually Bob’s cousin, and yes he choked on the task. Runs in the family.

 

[Idiot Stick]

me if they limit breakaways to only 20 this game

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

So, uh, they need to put the puck in the net and not have the puck put in their own net tonight. That'd be good.

 

[behemolari]

They’ve been UNBELIEVABLY lucky. That Domi goal happens maybe 1 time out of 100.

that's what Im thinking too, they have been executing like crazy, every other rush goes in and its not sustainable. What probably happens it hits back next round though

but if it ends tonight we have a change

Thanks PK Subban

 

[Gentle Man]

We quit

 

[Gizmoskevich]

Probably Tkachuk. He should just get the surgery now and be ready for next season.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Sounds like they are gonna face the obvious with Tkachuk, yeah.

 

[Gizmoskevich]

Put Mackie on one of the top 2 lines if that’s the case. He’s not going to be useful playing 4th line minutes, he doesn’t need to be sheltered like he’s 18

 

[Idiot Stick]

funny how a hobbled tkachuk has more goals than swaggy and reino, and none were from empty nets

Id rock this
CV-Barkov-Reino
Erod-Bennett-Samo
Luostar-Lundell-Marchand
Greer-Sturm-Nosek

Nosek just for faceoffs really, and i think hes better than most give credit for. Boqvist hasnt scored in forever and isnt defensively reliable.
2nd line can be hit or miss, dont wanna mess with the 3rd at all, and hopefully 1st can overcome being shutdown

Erod on the 2nd and 4th?

You trying to torture us?

Maybe this guy can scare Bob into playing well tonight...

This is more cringe than that Winnipeg playoff song.

hes double shiftin

 

[ShootIt]

hes double shiftin

Double shift this hoss.

 

[Gentle Man]

I bet Erod is embellishing all the way to concussion protocol

Here is the complete game time decision list

Rodrigues Embellishing
Ekblad PED withdrawal
Verhaeghe he just blows

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Probably Tkachuk. He should just get the surgery now and be ready for next season.

I feel like even at 50% he's been a net positive but if he's dying yeah he should shut it down. I think we all knew that dumb tournament was gonna get someone hurt lol.

I'd switch CF and Erod. That 1st line with Barkov/Reino is more of an elite shut-down line right now, no point wasting Verhaeghe there. Hopefully Verhaeghe and Bennett can find some of the magic they had in the past, just not sure about Samo, but guy deserves to be on line 2.

3rd is elite and 4th totally agree get two faceoff guys in there, we're getting killed in faceoffs.

 

[Panteras]

Just win. No excuses.

 

[batting1k]

This series was a lost cause anyway. I’d be surprised if Vanicek isn’t in net by the time the 2nd period is over.

 

[Gentle Man]

2025 Panthers showing resilience

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Call it luck all you want, they know Bob is shaky and they are HITTING THE NET WITH SHOTS.

Woll and Stolarz both let in terrible goals yet our guys are trying to snipe bar down every god damn shot. I swear 2/3 shots we take go high and wide.

my only problem with CV with bennett is its a defensive tire fire

Everytime we ran that line its a guaranteed -2, otherwise i agree with you

totally fair, but we get last change so that should help and I'd like to at least have a chance to score with one of our top two lines some time this game....

But we get to put our guys out second on face offs so can try to avoid bad matchups.

Could be call up one of the kids? Sourif?
